MIME always application/octet-stream with WebDAV

[dansizemore]

Greetings,

Whenever I upload or modify a document by webdav the document's mime type changes to application/octet-stream. I have no issue with mime types when uploading a document with the web interface. This causes issues while downloading and previewing.

I've tested this issue with the latest versions of webdrive on both Mac and Windows. I've spent a good deal of time searching the wiki and the forums to no avail. Has anyone experienced this issue, and/or have a solution? I'm running OpenKM version 5.1.7.

Thank you,

We have made some WebDAv improvements in the upcoming OpenKM 5.1.8 release and you can try them downloading the night build from http://integration.openkm.com/5.1.x/ . Can you confirm the problem persist in this snapshot? Thanks.

I can confirm the issue still exist in the night build (revision 7163). I'd be happy to provide any information that would be helpful in resolving this bug.

I just have uploaded a JPEG file using WebDAV and has the right MIME type. Also has the right MIME type after modification via WebDAV. So, I can't reproduce the issue in OpenKM 5.1.8-SNAPSHOT build 8218.

Hi,

I can confirm the same issue with Version: 5.1.8-SNAPSHOT (build: 7179) and the last Webdrive software.

I have just uploaded a .doc file and the MIME type is "application/msword" but after some changes in the file I have saved it and the MIME type is now "application/octet-stream". Also, the version remains as 1.0 after the file modifications so It seems that Webdrive cannot work with versioning...

And...where is the OpenKM 5.1.8-SNAPSHOT build 8218 ? Is it available for download? The last version in http://integration.openkm.com/5.1.x/ is 7179.

Thanks.

Hi pavila,

I'm not sure the issue occurs with a JPEG, were you not able to test with a doc file? In addition, like ccbaxter, I also am having version issues. Not only does the version not increment it seems to 0 out the size of all previous versions of the document.

Thank you.

Hi again,

I've been testing some things on this subject and I would like to share the results with you.

OpenKM Version: 5.1.8-SNAPSHOT (build: 7187)
Webdrive version 10.0

The webdav access through Webdrive works for me with these extensions:

TXT, RTF, PNG, JPG, DGN and DWG

I can edit these type of files directly from Webdrive and when I save changes the MIME type remains OK and a new version is generated in OpenKM. Just fine.

ODT

If I edit this type directly through Webdrive the MIME type doesn't change but OpenKM generates and extra version each time I save the file. I mean
1.0 -> 1.1 (empty version) ->1.2 (modified version)

DOC, XLS (office 2003)

Editing through Webdrive makes the MIME type change to "application/octet-stream" and there is no new version, always 1.0.


ALL the file types works as expected if I overwrite the file in the Webdrive Share, I mean, if I make the changes locally and then overwrite the file of the repository everything works fine, obviouslly this is not what we want...but it helps.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

We have best tested with Cyberduck, but I will try OpenKM WebDAV with Webdrive version 10.0. I have created an issue (http://issues.openkm.com/view.php?id=1768) to handle this bug. Please, continue comments on that platform.

This issue seems to persist in 5.1.8, along with additional issues with the Mac Webdrive often not being able to save at all.

Sadly I don't have a Mac to try. But I have a virtualized Windows, so I could test it with the same WebDrive version. Which version have you installed?
